Publisher's Synopsis
2010. No year in the Bundeswehr's mission in Afghanistan has been so dramatic, none has been so lossy. As a group leader in a combat company, Sergeant Major Markus Götz was, so to speak, "right in the middle". Nevertheless he wrote down; Day after day he recorded and processed his experiences. The result is a comprehensive, meticulous and, last but not least, authentic protocol, the pull of which one can hardly escape. This edition is supplemented by a detailed introduction about the reasons, the genesis and the course of the Bundeswehr's mission in Afghanistan as well as by an equally knowledgeable and concentrated commentary on this historical source.
